Having been suggested to visit your organisation we were going to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Goddington found by you but stumbled across some other quotes on the internet appear less expensive – how come?
There are lots of solicitors advertising theoretically looks to be very low prices.

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Edwardian property in Goddington. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Alliance & Leicester . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Goddington and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
I am buying a new build house in Goddington with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it could affect my mortgage with Barclays Direct. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Goddington where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Goddington conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
